We really enjoyed our time both at MoMa and The Empire State Building. At the museum we saw very different kind of art. MoMA is truly a temple of modern and contemporary art. From masterpieces by Van Gogh and Picasso to cutting-edge installations and photography, the museum offers a unique experience that blends history with fresh artistic vision. The galleries are bright, spacious, and easy to navigate, and the variety of works ensures that every visit feels new. A must for art lovers and anyone looking for inspiration. As far as the Empire State Building is concerned, it was a magical experience and I couldn't get my eyes off the view! New York City unfolds beneath your feet, from Central Park to the Statue of Liberty..! Totally recommend that experience!

It was a dream come true to visit the museum of modern arts, since I've seen it in movies and documentaries, everything I thought it was it's true. The place is spacious and the way paintings appear out of nowhere letting visitors speechless is the highlight. My favorite painters are there, but I also got to know new painters like for example Remedios Varo! To finish I also loved the souvenirs from the museum shop. My totebag is now a gift that reminds me I have to go Back to moma someday, but this time with my husband and I'm sure it Will be another amazing experience! Oh, I recommend spending the whole afternoon there. It's really worth it.

I loved seeing my favorite Chagall painting and the rest of the collections. It was crowded at times, but there were often lulls so I could go back and get a closer look at a paiinting if I wanted to. We loved having a snack at the Terrace restaurant and looking down at the sculpture garden, it was definitely a high point of the trip. All of the Museum staff were great, I don't know how they do it all day.

    I was positively surprised that the ticekt I bought was not only about taking the elevator to the observation deck, but there was also a museum with the history of the building location and street views from that era and nicely made very realistic interactive exhibition of the construction of the Empire State Building. So it was interesting to get to know more about the history and background of ESB before actually going up. As first the visitors are taken to the closed (inside) panorama view floor, I was Ok with that and I even thought that ok, this is the observation deck . But I was even more happy then I realised that the tour take us also to the outside open-air observation deck. The thing is - I did`nt notice in the beginning when buing the ticket in a hurry that there are actually two decks. As the weather was clear and good, I loved the view over the city very much and made a good set of nice pictures. The clouds made the view over the city even more beautiful with their shadows. So, in my opinion the ticekt to the ESB Observation Decks was absolutely worth it!

    The tickets were easy to redeem. The experience was great! We enjoyed learning about the history of the ESB before getting to enjoy the views. The views are incredible! We appreciated the arrows pointing in the direction of many major city attractions to look out for. The outside viewing deck was also good - it was very windy and cold the day we were there, so we didn't enjoy it as much as the indoor views.
